The AC&Y had several XM's assigned to hide service.  I've seen photos of some that were stenciled "Hide loading only".  The last two around that I'm aware of were parked near the Akron, OH freight

Howdy!       Not exactly on this topic, but this weekend I visited the NRHS Museum in Duluth, GA.       If anyone ever wanted to model a steam powered pile driver, you should go to the

Given the congregation of MOW ditchers on flats shown, the date (1936) and the significant amount of weed growth that appears around/ under the flat cars, these look like they fit a recent thread

Joe - Many thanks! I have visited that museum back in the early 1990's but did not see the ATSF reefer. Did measure parts of the SP C-9 2-8-0, however. Guess I'll have to plan a return trip. A.T.

Check out the May 2004 RMC, Ted Cullotta had a very good catalog of HO freight car trucks and who had at that time the best models of them. This was a side bar to his Essential Freight Cars

Dave, Here are a couple of sources of photos... the first link is to a Jeff Wilson article available as a PDF from the Model Railroader site that has an overview of freight car trucks and some

Dave: If you don't mind a reply from me instead of Richard, try going to the Walthers website, advanced search, HO, trucks and couplers. There you will find lots of trucks, some precisely labelled and

Gentlemen, I'm finishing one of the F&C HO scale IC single sheathed box cars, and I could use some help on the color. Does anyone have any suggestions? Brown? Oxide? Red? A mix? Color of underframe

CDS dry transfers had them .Armand Premo

In 1973 the XM-33's of the CBQ #s21154-21235-21378-22371-22810 were assigned to hide service---jim young

The only decals I've found are Champ BRH-31 that have this stencil. Anyone found any other examples? Tim O'Connor

CGW stenciled their hide service cars, painted them black and noted them as hide sevice in the April 1960 ORER. There is no such notation in the 1953 ORER. Sorry, but I don't have any intermediate
